I am an run maniac exactly 6 weeks after implantation of my (buddy) pacemaker. The doctor told me to wait 8 full weeks before I start vigorous running. During my first 2 week follow up my limit was .5 miles walking slowly. My condition was slow and pausing heart rate resulting in collapse and trips to the ER. With the pacemaker I no longer feel light headed and my heart rate is around 60+. I am 65+ and ran at 6:45 and did 400 repeats at 1:30. Will I return to that Rate with the pacemaker? Looking for some encouragement and insight!
